Passwordless SSH connection setup between Linux Nodes

What is SSH: Secure Shell (SSH) is an open source cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. The best-known example application is for remote login to computer systems by users. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

What is SSH-KEYGEN: ssh-keygen is a standard component of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol suite found on Unix and Unix-like computer systems used to establish secure shell sessions between remote computers over insecure networks, through the use of various cryptographic techniques. The ssh-keygen utility is used to generate, manage, and convert authentication keys. ssh-keygen is able to generate a key using one of three different digital signature algorithms.
